Connecting a Keyboard

To connect a keyboard, hold the cable connector so the arrow on the connector faces up. Insert it into the port marked K/B.

Connecting a Mouse

Your system came with a serial mouse that connects to either of the computer’s built-in serial ports. To connect the mouse, insert the connector into one of the ports marked COM1 and COM2.

When you install the drivers for your mouse, make sure you identify the port to which you connected it. See the README file on the diskette that came with your mouse for more information.

Connecting a Monitor

The way you connect your monitor to the computer depends on the type of monitor you have. If you have a VGA monitor (or a multifrequency monitor with an analog connector), you can connect it to the computer’s built-in VGA port as described below. If you are connecting your monitor to an adapter card, see Chapter 3.

1.Place your monitor on top of or near the computer. Turn the monitor and computer around so the backs are facing you.

2.There should be two cables provided with your monitor: the monitor cable (to connect it to the computer) and the power cable (to connect it to the power source). On most monitors, the monitor cable is permanently attached to the monitor. If your monitor does not have an attached cable, connect the cable to it now.

3.Examine the connector on the monitor cable and line it up with the VGA port on the computer. Then insert the connector into the port.
